One New Experience Each Week - Presidential Election Rally

I attended the first ever Presidential Election Rally in Singapore 2 weeks ago. That was history in the making.
.
The one thing that touched me is the realization that this Presidential Candidate - Tan Jee Say is a good example of someone living The Singapore Dream. He comes from a poor and humble background - he is the youngest of 11 children of a washer woman (from China) who was trying to make ends meet. Through his hard work and effort, he earned the scholarship to study Philosophy Politics & Economics at Oxford University, and went on to have a stellar career path. 
.
This is The Singapore Dream.
With hard work, effort and capability, you are given the opportunity to shine on the global stage, irregardless of your family background. That is inspirational!
